Katie Holmes Wore the Cheap Styling Trick That Elevates Every Outfit

Last night, Michael Kors held a cocktail party at one of New York City's chicest and most beloved establishments, Bemelmans Bar, inside the Carlyle Hotel. And of course, Katie Holmes came dressed for the elegant occasion. For the event to celebrate the designer's new Madison Avenue store, Holmes kept her look simple and sophisticated, wearing a Michael Kors strapless black midi dress with a matching coat, kitten-heel pumps, and a chain-strap handbag. She finished the look with a stunning pair of gold-and-pearl earrings, as well as one underappreciated accessory that, in my opinion at least, was responsible for completing Holmes's night-out ensemble: tights.
